The goal of this strand is to expose educational leaders to the various technology tools that are available to help enhance teaching and learning, as well as enhancing leaders' ability to communicate and collaborate. Although it is not necessary for educators to know everything about each application or emerging technology, it is recognized that a certain level of comfort and familiarity is beneficial when developing an Educational Technology vision for a school site and district. Through the use of online resources, readily available tools, and emerging technologies, educators are better able to address the digital natives that we are teaching.
